Oh dear, George. (Can’t quite bring myself to use the ‘Boy’ prefix, given that you’re 65, and old enough to know better). What were you thinking? Or failing that, who is advising you? On what planet did you think releasing a song supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza would be a good idea? And not just any old song, but a reportedly AI-assisted song with lyrics so bad even a robot drunk on WD40 would struggle to admit ownership?

“There will be no war / But if you’re ever confused / I stand with the Jews / I don’t feel brave, I just need to behave like a human” would never be winning any Ivor Novello awards.
